Country Origin: USADirector: Gabriele Muccino
From the very beginning of the movie the audience were exposed to Will Smith and his financial problems. Will Smith, who plays the character Chris in the movie, along with his son, who is played by his own son, struggled to bring in a decent income to support the family. From that moment on and from the moment we remembered what this movie was titled, it automatically became one of those movies where you already knew how it would end, or at least had a pretty good idea of the ending. A lot of times the movie tried to throw us off and tried to make us think that things may not turn out the way we first predicted because things did not seem too promising for Will and his son. Our doubts would all disappear when the most powerful message was delivered by Will Smith. He told his son to never let anyone tell him that he cannot do something and that anything was possible if he tried. This was the turning point of the movie, fully relating back to what this movie was titled. We knew from that moment on that he will not let anything stop him from gaining happiness.
The Pursuit of Happyness may be a predictable movie, but that did not take away from how powerful the movie was. The movie was more touching than your average “sad beginning and happy ending” movie. It displayed the realness of people in poverty. It makes us realize how lucky we were to have a proper roof over our heads. This brings us to one of the most touching scenes of the movie, which had Will Smith and his son, who was completely oblivious to what was happening to his family, were forced to sleep in a train terminal bathroom. How can one not feel bad for the father and son?
I just loved the acting in this movie. Will Smith definitely deserves as Oscar for his role, but we cannot forget about Will’s son, Jaden, who put on one of the best performances that I have ever seen from a kid. Their father and son connection in the movie really gave it that extra strength and powerfulness.

I've heard many things about this particular movie and thought I wouldn't want to watch it. However, the way you described it made it seem touching enough for me to sit through it.
it's definitely not the best movie ever created, but it's different from everything else we see
